Near East, probably made in Khorassan, east Persia (Iran) / west Afghanistan, Seljuq (Saljuq/Seljuk) period, ca. 12th to 13th century CE. A brilliantly turquoise-glazed bowl in the distinctive style of Bamiyan ware (also Bamyan), its interior decorated with two stylized tigers molded in relief around a geometric star form in tondo. The bowl itself rises from a short, slightly flared foot to a deep body with steeply sloping walls and a slightly everted rim. The exterior is smooth, glazed the same color to just above the foot. Navy blue - almost black - manganese-based pigment used sparingly forms a linear/geometric motif around the upper rim. The tigers are probably a reference to hunting, a popular activity by elite members of this society.
